I ARGAIFORUIREL VEOH SCN Thursday, April 22nd-1965 SEAGRAVE NEWS It saddens older members of | Mr. Ralph Reynolds has car- a community to see pioneer fa- mily names disappearing. This will be happening here again soon when Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Reynolds move to Port Perry. It is about 84 years since Mr. Richard Reynolds settled on the 4th concession of Reach, just west of Seagrave station. Since then the farm has been oper- ated by three generations of the family. The second owner Mr. Silas Reynolds, who passed away /last summer at age 97 was 13 years old when he came to Seagrave, After many years he retirgd to Port Perry and his son Ralph has farmed there since. Now comes a change, On April 15 Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Howell and family from Osh- awa took possession of the farm, so the Reynolds name will disappear. It will be strange to have no Reynolds here. While we are not pleased to lose our old friends, we extend ar welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Howell, and hope they may be happy in our midst, The Reynolds family have been outstanding in service rendered the Seagrave Church. In the oldest records available, we find the name of Mr. Rich- ard Reynolds as a church offi- cial. We can easily remember the splendid contributions made by Mr. Silas Reynods and also his sister Mrs. Orchard, Lately ried on the tradition as a mem- ber of the Session and Board of Stewards. For this reason it was en- tirely fitting that on Easter Sunday we should participate in a service during which 2 crosses, a bible and a motto were presented and dedicated in memory of the late Mr. Silas Reynolds. Mrs. Reynolds in a few well- chosen words presented the gifts which were received by senior elder Mr. Alvin Bruce for the church and superintendent Mr. Ken Sturman for the Sun- day School. Mr. McNeil conv ducted a suitable dedication service. Accompanying Mrs. Reynolds were two of her daughters Mrs, Cherrie and Mrs. Hood, also Mr, Gordon Cherrie. At the U.C.W. meeting on Wed. evening we were glad to have as visitors a former mem- ber Mrs. Wm. Clarke and Mrs. Jackman, daughter of Mrs. Tait. The Easter theme was car- ried out in a nicely arranged worship centre and throughout the devotional period. Seven ladies (Mrs: Verkuyl, Mrs. C. Short, Mrs. Tait, Mrs. G. Stone, Mrs. Abraham, Mrs. Boe and Mrs. Tobin) took part in pre- senting the story of Passion Week and Easter, Lights were TE REE der ricibicobessedabog extinguished one by one to in. dicate the darkness of the cru- cifixion and re-lit to show the brightness of Easter morning. The program was completed by Ps. 763 (hymnary) repeated in unison, a duet "The Light of the World is Jesus" by Mrs. Ken Short and Mrs. Nobbs, and a reading by Mrs. Abraham. Mission study on Brazil was well taken by Mrs. McNeil. Business was mainly routine, minutes, roll call, reports and reports and reports, then final arrangements for the Spring Tea on Sat., April 24th. Mrs. Bertrand was celebrating a birthday that day, which gave us an excuse to break into song. Lunch was served by Unit 1. An auction sale of furniture from the Manse and from the estate of the late Mrs. Couch will be held Sat.,, May 15. Last Wednesday evening Mrs. Schad, mother of Mrs. Zolitz arrived home from an extend- ed visit in Germany. When she left here she said she was going "home" to Germany.
